Chapter 67: If Mei is Here
[The movie begins with a large screen on a building. The bright red characters for "AIRSTRIKE" flash, and countless unmanned fighter jets fly across the screen. The screen goes black.
Familiar text appears on the dark screen: 2 years, 5 months, 16 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, and 26 seconds since the outbreak of the Third Eruption.
When the screen lights up again, Kiana, in a tight battlesuit, walks into the frame. Waiting for the催促 from her Bluetooth communicator, after the fighter jet and a Honkai beast explode, her soft body leaps high into the air for a somersault.
"Neko Charm!"
Kiana raises her long, slender leg high. The massive spectral image of a cat's leg appears in the air and smashes down hard on an unmanned fighter jet.
After a battle scene stacked with flashy special effects, Kiana, under Himeko's arrangement, boards a new drone. After dealing with the Honkai beasts attacking from the air, Kiana half-kneels on the drone. Through the clouds, a massive steel warship can be seen.
"Himeko, I've beaten back the Honkai beasts. I can see the Selene now!"
"Roger that. Kiana, prepare for landing!"]
"Starting off with such a bang. Such a classic Yaqing style," Kevin laughed.
"Yaqing style? What kind of style is that?" MEI asked, confused.
"Explosive opening → calm middle → super epic fight → tear-jerking follow-up," Kevin teased.
"Kevin, if I were that easy for you to predict, what kind of scriptwriter would I be?" Yaqing leaned back in his seat and said with a half-smile.
Tear-jerking follow-up?
I'll give you a whole movie that's tear-jerking from start to finish.
It's just a pity that this movie...
Yaqing shook his head, lamenting from the bottom of his heart that Welt hadn't participated in the film's production.
In the front row, Mei looked at Kiana with a strange expression.
"Mei, why are you looking at me?" Kiana was still immersed in her own cool fight in the movie and didn't understand why Mei was suddenly staring at her.
"Kiana..." Mei began, finding it hard to speak. "In the movie, it looks like you smashed a Schicksal unmanned fighter jet."
"So what? Isn't Schicksal the villain in the movie? Besides, the Overseer in the movie is the murderer who killed Mom. 'I' would definitely be at odds with him," Kiana said nonchalantly, hugging two large buckets of popcorn, so happy she was about to shove her face in them.
"You idiot Kiana, you didn't read the character and background settings at all," Bronya said, revealing a small, smug expression. "In the plot, St. Freya Academy is a branch of Schicksal in the Far East. And as a student, you are also a B-rank Valkyrie affiliated with Schicksal."
"Huh?!" Kiana was stunned.
"Just a B-rank Valkyrie..." Fu Hua muttered to herself.
"I think she's not as good as the Class Monitor," Bronya said.
"How can you compare! In the plot, I'm just a little girl under 20. How can I compare to an old monster like the Class Monitor who has lived for 50,000 years!" Kiana said, getting agitated.
Old monster...
"Pfft."
Himeko, sitting in the row in front, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A vein popped on Fu Hua's forehead.
Only Senti laughed the loudest.
However, everyone in this screening hall knew Senti and her personality, so no one said anything.
Mei quickly covered Kiana's mouth. "Class Monitor, she's just a child, she doesn't know any better."
Realizing she had misspoken, Kiana nodded quickly.
In the second to last row, Yaqing watched the interaction between Mei and Kiana in front and couldn't help but smile. Mobius noticed his smile, and even the way she looked at him was a little strange.
"What are you smiling at?" Kevin asked curiously.
Yaqing answered every question. He joked, "I'm laughing that the main line of the Kaslana family is probably going to die out. What do you think, Kevin? You're also a Kaslana. If you just give the word, the Schariac family will definitely support you in taking over the main line."
"Don't joke around. I've told you several times. Although my surname is Kaslana, I have no relationship with the Kaslana family of Schicksal. That means nothing to me," Kevin said, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
"That's a good line," Yaqing nodded, thinking about something.
"Mmm~" From Mobius's other side, Elysia poked her little head out and asked curiously, "Kevin, are you in this movie too?"
"I don't know. you'd have to ask Yaqing. Anyway, I didn't do any voice acting," Kevin shook his head.
Yaqing didn't answer the question, just smiled.
[After Kiana boards the Selene, Himeko asks her to report the situation via Bluetooth and gives her an order. There are 30 minutes before the warship crashes. They must gain control of the warship before then.
Hearing Himeko mention a teammate, Kiana gets excited.
"Mei! You're talking about Mei, right! I can meet up with Mei soon, right?"
"You need to calm down. Don't have 'Mei,' 'Mei,' 'Mei' on your mind all the time."
Ending the call with Himeko, Kiana plans to enter the warship from the deck, but is harassed by Honkai beasts again. After dealing with them, Raiden Mei's communication comes through.
"Kiana, this is Mei. I have safely arrived in the target area."
Hearing Mei's voice, Kiana's tone clearly brightens.
"Mei! That's great! I'm coming to you right now!"
"Ah, wait, we should follow the operational plan—"
Kiana completely ignores the operational plan, only wanting to be with Mei. She even misreads "twice the result with half the effort" as "half the result with twice the effort" and ends the communication with Mei.
"Aiya! I can't stand it for another minute! I haven't seen Mei for 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 38 seconds!"
Like she'd been injected with chicken blood, Kiana plows through the zombies and Honkai beasts in her path. It was even more satisfying than a musou-style hack-and-slash game.
"Annoying zombies and Honkai beasts, don't get in my way of seeing Mei!"
On the upper deck, the first thing that appears in the frame is still a shapely rear. A black inner shirt that couldn't be shorter, and a battle skirt that was basically useless. Her long, blue-purple hair reached her waist.
Kiana runs.
Just as the audience thinks they're about to see a touching reunion of comrades, Kiana kicks away a zombie trying to sneak up on Mei and jumps onto her back.
"Mei! With Mei here, it's like having the strength of a hundred people!"
"The strength of a hundred people... I'm not some kind of superman..." Mei's tone was extremely affectionate.
"No! Just having Mei by my side already feels like I've gained a hundred times the strength."
Mei smiled gently. "That's something only Kiana would say."]
The audience could, of course, see the different feelings Kiana had for Raiden Mei in the movie. The romantic atmosphere was almost breaking through the screen. Probably only a fool couldn't see it.
Sensing everyone's gazes, Mei was so embarrassed she wanted to bury her face in the chest that the principal had spent her whole life chasing. Half of it was because of "Kiana's" direct words, and the other half was because the character model in the plot was a bit hard for her, who had received a high-class education since childhood, to accept.
Kiana's face was also a little red. Unlike her in the plot, the her who was raised by Cecilia was definitely not that kind of person. Probably...
"Darned old uncle, if you film it like this, what if my darned old dad and mom see..."
Kiana was still a little worried, afraid that Cecilia and Siegfried wouldn't accept a girl being in a relationship with another girl.
As it turned out, Kiana was purely overthinking it.
Far away on the other side of the ocean, Siegfried and his wife were also in a movie theater in Canghai City, Shenzhou. When they saw this scene, Cecilia had a motherly smile on her face, and Siegfried, he had purely come to terms with it himself.
In the last row, Mobius watched the screen. She felt that the way "Kiana" and "Raiden Mei" interacted was somewhat familiar. She glanced at Elysia leaning on Eden's shoulder.
Mobius understood. She knew where this sense of deja vu came from.
